In a recent year, a hospital had 4472 births. Find the mean number of births per day, then use that result and the Poisson distribution to find the probability that in a day, there are 14 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 14 births?
Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.
